(2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, alpha-guaiene-forming)
Requires Mg2+. The enzyme from Pogostemon cablin gives 13% alpha-guaiene as well as 37% (-)-patchoulol (see EC 4.2.3.70), 13% delta-guaiene (see EC 4.2.3.93), and traces of at least ten other sesquiterpenoids [1]. In Aquilaria crassna three clones of the enzyme gave about 80% delta-guaiene and 20% alpha-guaiene, with traces of alpha-humulene. A fourth clone gave 54% delta-guaiene and 45% alpha-guaiene [2].
